Snack Money Time
Like mentioned in my “Everyday Activities” post, my kids love to participate in Snack Money Time. It started when school let out in March and the kids’ insatiable appetites came into the picture.

“2020: The year drive-bys became a positive thing”
I was recently texting with a friend of mine and she told me that her son requested a “Johnny drive-by”.
